Industrial Sector Energy Consumption Data Base (ECDB) for 1975 and 1976. Volume 1A. Appendices with 1975 Data. Final Report

摘要

Industrial energy consumption data for US sources include DOE's Annual Report to Congress, the Monthly Energy Review, the Federal Energy Data System, and the Energy Data Reports publications, formerly titled Mineral Industry Surveys. Since the industrial sector fuel totals published by DOE differ from ECDB totals, explanations are given on how the different DOE publications derive their data and why ECDB totals vary from DOE totals. For this purpose, the Annual Report was chosen as the source of comparison to the ECDB. Of the fuel surveys conducted by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), some are voluntary and some mandatory. The response rate to the mandatory surveys is close to 100% while the response rate to voluntary surveys is lower, varying between 55% and 87%. Survey characteristics are described and the way in which inadequate survey responses are corrected by the EIA. The table numbers in the appendix correspond to the comparable 1976 tables in the separately bound Volume I summary document. (ERA citation 11:029946)
